Unknown Festival 2014

THE SKINNY

DATE:

8 - 12 September 2014

LOCATION:

Camp Amarin, Rovinj, Croatia

Celebrate the last days of Summer under the Croatia sun. Unknown is a week-long music and arts festival created by Sound Channel and a team of their artistic friends, you may know them from Hideout Festival, The Warehouse Project and Field Day.

Unknown festival takes place just outside the beautiful old town of Rovinj, Istria at the Amarin Resort (a 2 star resort with good reviews) nestled by the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by forest and flowers.

Only minutes away from the beach, offering a myriad of different accommodation options and parties on land and sea, Unknown festival is a welcome addition to an already crammed Croatia festival season but not for obvious reasons. While it extends the season, it is the weeklong schedule which appeals most, for international travellers there is a legitimate weekend to recover, a necessity.

With the experience of 3 of the better independent festival promoters the experience is more refined than maybe you would expect for a festival which debuted in 2013 -if you went to 1st Field Day this might be seen as a quite an achievement.

STAGES
